Blue Ridge Community and Technical College started in 1974 as a two-year nursing program at Shepherd State College (now Shepherd University) in Shepherdstown. At first, classes were held in the basement of a dorm, then moved to the Blue Ridge Outlet complex in Martinsburg in 2001.

In 2005, it became its own independent college. In 2012, it opened its own 46-acre campus in Martinsburg and also has a technology center and a campus in Berkeley Springs.

The college serves students in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan counties.
